Two charged over Hogmanay ‘shooting’ death of Marc Webley named after lotto winner Jane Park’s gangster ex ‘gunned down’
A MAN and woman have been charged over the Hogmanay shooting death of Edinburgh gangster Marc Webley.
Grant Hunter, 32, and Emma McVie, 25, were arrested and charged over the alleged killing of the convicted gunman.
Webley, 38, was reportedly gunned down while leaving a New Year party at his local pub in the capital’s Granton, while a second man, 39, was also allegedly wounded by gunfire.
A major probe was launched into the alleged killing, with West Granton Road being sealed off and scoured by forensics for days.
On Thursday night, Hunter and McVie were arrested by armed cops at a flat on Gorgie Road before officers equipped with rifles and shields led them away in handcuffs.
The pair have since been charged in connection with Webley’s death and are both due to appear at Edinburgh Sheriff Court on Monday.
The arrests come just days after investigators found the suspected getaway motor involved in the alleged murder in a nearby estate.
Webley’s ex, lotto winner Jane Park, paid tribute to the convicted gunman in a series of Instagram posts, saying she was “absolutely devastated” by the alleged killing.
Webley was previously jailed for an attempted gun murder and an intimidation plot.
In 2004, the hood was at the centre of a turf war with another thug who can’t be named for legal reasons.

It culminated in 2005 with him firing a gun at a rival, hitting him once. He was caged for 11 years.
After he was freed from jail, Webley was caged for a further six months for trying to intimidate a man into handing over £1,000 at a garage.
And in 2022, he was cleared of a double murder bid after a witness claimed she could not identify him.
A report on Hunter and McVie’s charges will be made to the Procurator Fiscal.
